Emily opens up about growing up in a strict fundamentalist Baptist household in the San Francisco Bay Area, the anxiety and panic attacks that pushed her out of a banking career and into therapy, coaching, and eventually writing, and the Book That Changed Her Life: The Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller. She and Chris go deep on why grief and gratitude are inseparable rather than opposites, the case for becoming &quot;an advocate for grief&quot; instead of tidying it away, the importance of grief rituals and letting our sorrow be witnessed, and the hard-won truth that life can be both devastating and beautiful at the same time. #booksthatchangedmylife #books #library #bookrecs #bookreport #interview #podcast #chrisbulldogcollins \ud83d\udea8 Grab the coolest book &amp;amp; library tees, socks, hoodies &amp;amp; more! https:\/\/booksthatchangedmylife.org\/collections\/all ","author_name":"Books That Changed My Life","author_url":"https:\/\/www.booksthatchangedmylife.org","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/41928425\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/203710615"}
